DOES "A FEW CARD SHORT OF A FULL DECK" MEAN CRAZY OR STUPID???

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

I MEANT CRAZY!!! IT WAS A COMPLIMENT!!!!

Wah.

[northzax]

1. depends on the context, right?

coming from oyu, it meant stupid, obviously.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. IT. DID. NOT. (nt)

[northzax]

6. ok, but someone's a lobster short of a clambake...

couple o' brewskis short of a sixpack?
Two senators short of cloture?

got any more?

[Zuni]

13. a few swingers short of an orgy?

[Zuni]

14. a few falafels short of a Lebanese dinner?

[northzax]

17. I do believe the technical term is

"a few falafels short of the O'rielly factor..."

[Zuni]

15. an eggroll short of a Pu-Pu platter

[BurtWorm]

18. A few Commie Pinkos short of a Dirtbag

:crazy: or :dunce: ?

[Hugin]

2. Crazy.

Or so I'd always thought.

"Not the sharpest tool in the shed." Refers to stupid.

[northzax]

7. how about "the elevator doesn't reach the top floor?"

crazy or stupid?

[Hugin]

11. Then there's the favorite; "All the lights are on, but, nobody's home."

Stupid and Stupid.

[Zuni]

16. that would be stupid

the elevator is out of order on that one is a toss up though

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. A few sandwiches short of a picnic

[ET Awful]

4. You'd have to be a few bricks short of a load to not know that

:evilgrin:

[enlightenment]

8. Context counts on that one, though I lean towards crazy

My latest favorite is "not the brightest crayon in the box." Now I can use the shorthand "pastel" (that person is very pastel -or- what a pastel argument . . .) and slip right past the radar.

:evilgrin:

9. A taco short

of a combination plate

[Bouncy Ball]

10. Crazy.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer means stupid.

[Zuni]

12. it means both

a few sandwiches short of a picnic means both too, as does a few clowns short of a circus.

But not the sharpest tool in the shed definetly means stupid. :silly:

[dubyaD40web]

19. A few fries short of a Happy Meal.

[kwassa]

20. Not playing with a full deck of marbles

just to mix metaphors
